Samuel Stranak three-bet to 990,000 with the 
and Alan Sabo called with the 
. The 
flop was checked by Stranak and Sabo elected to check it back.
The 
fell on the turn and Stranak now bet 800,000 for Sabo to call. As they headed to the 
river, the pot had grown to 3,700,000 and Stranak checked once more. Sabo then bet the full pot and Stranak was sent into the tank for the 2,100,000 he had behind.
A long tank followed and Stranak then called as Sabo was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar. "Fuck, I only have queen-high," he joked in Slovakian and Stranak celebrated to double into the lead.
